Build your clinical practice at Brown Psychological Services

Are you interested in doing clinical work? Would you like to receive clinical training and build a case load you can bring along to your own private practice in the future?

I am looking to add people to my team who are specifically interested in doing clinical work, including:

• General assessment and diagnosis

• Providing evidence based treatment for OCD and Anxiety Disorders. Please note that work in both of these areas is required to work here

• Providing evidence based treatment for other clinical concerns including: Trauma (PTSD and/or Developmental Trauma), ADHD, BFRBs, Insomnia, Mood Disorders, Autism, Binge Eating Disorder, Bulimia, and other concerns. Please note that work in all of these areas is not required, but many clients we help present with these issues, so a willingness to work in some of these areas is necessary, particularly mood disorders and ADHD.

• All other clinical specialties would also be very welcome!

This position is suitable for Registered Psychologists and Provisional Psychologists and includes extensive clinical consultation and supervision as needed.

These positions are quite different from other private practice jobs, because it is a training model:

• This is a teaching clinic. I am very happy to work with people who already have great clinical skills and are wanting to build a practice, but I do not expect people to already have these skills. I can work with people at all levels of experience, though some training may be required, and a keen interest in clinical work is a must. My goal is to develop a community of people doing high fidelity clinical work at a specialist level, and I recognize that the training required to do this is not widely accessible

• This is an ideal contract for people who want their own private practice. Contracts are 2 years long, with the explicit idea that you can freely take your whole caseload with you at the end of that time, or negotiate a contract to stay on longer if it suits you. I feel proud of the clinicians that move on to their own practices and provide business mentorship toward this goal throughout people’s work with me.

• Supervision and Consultation are included as a contract benefit, and the program is extensive for a private practice setting, including 1-2 hours of one on one meetings per week, and weekly tape review, note review, as well a monthly group consult meeting. Registered Psychologists can take the elements from this supervision plan that they need to support their practice.

• This is a clinical practice, not a counselling practice. We all have areas we work in that are talk therapy based, but the bulk of referrals to our practice are folks who have at least one significant diagnosis that negatively impacts their life. This is a gift for those wanting to do clinical work because they will have the client flow to actually become proficient in it.

• You will have access to the best protocols that are available for the conditions we work with, and have the opportunity to learn how to use them

• Splits are graduated – 60/40 split up to 19 clients average per week (calculated biweekly) and 70/30 for 20 or more average clients per week
